Morgan named Dacusville Middle teacher of the year
CENTRAL — The School District of Pickens County recently named Southern Wesleyan University graduate Garrett Morgan as Dacusville Middle School’s teacher of the year.

Blueberries go mainstream in July
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier

July is National Blueberry Month. Our blueberries are coming in strong right now, so that makes sense. I freeze them in pint 
bags. They’re so easy. You don’t wash them before freezing — just throw them in the bags and rinse when you take them out of the freezer before using.
The reason for specifying a cast iron skillet for making the blueberry upside-down cake is because that is what my Grandmama used for pineapple upside-down cake and it really cuts down on cleanup if you prepare, bake and serve in this old standby.
I hope you’ll enjoy these. One of the bonuses of eating blueberries is that they are good for you. Now isn’t that good news?
